Second-to-Potentially The Last Gasp
We aren’t throwing in the towel yet for the season! But oh man this weather ain’t helping the case.
Hey everyone, Hank here. I’m jumping in this week while my dad is at a work event.
Anyways, since my last trip recounting my cross-country trip, my wife (Suzy2), our dog, Ziggy, and myself have made our way from Breckenridge to Woody Boater HQ in Virginia.
Despite the endless rain, we’ve had a few glimpses of sun during our 1-Year Anniversary back in the US.


And just like that, after sitting in VA for a week – we had a wonderful sunset cruise!
All dogs aboard and accounted for. Grandma too!

Beautiful photos of a great sunset cruise. Thanks Hank for sharing.
It looks like this will be a 2nd year in a row without splashing the continental. Too many family commitments and other projects. I thought I would have so much time to do the things I love during retirement, but I am busier now than ever. Maybe next year…
Funny weather patterns. We are finishing up our second driest September since records started in 1871.
dang! and here we went from 45F in CO to a sweatfest in VA
It’s a funny time of the year. In northern lower Michigan we have bright sunny skies and mid-seventies all week. The sad part is that at least half of the boats have already been pulled and winterized already.
Went for a nice 800 RPM cruise yesterday afternoon in the ’56 Sportsman on the west branch of Keuka. Flat water, almost no other boats, and t-shirt and shorts temps. Was going to pull and winterize it today, but the weekend is supposed to be beautiful, so we’ll put it off a few more days. Biggest concern is getting the boat out of the hoist. Like M-Fine said, it’s been really dry and the lake is low.
Its always SWEET PEA season. What a resource to have to cruise around in. I’m jelly as they say on the street.
Sweet Pea has a special place in our hearts – we were married on it afterall!
Looks like a nice ride. Great pictures. Thanks for stepping in and sharing Hank.
Hank, thanks for stepping in for the old man! nice pix!
On our way to Lake Chelan today, Then launch a few more boats and headed up lake 55 miles to very remote Stehekin National park on our pre-event before our boat show in Chelan Saturday!
Hey Ron! We gotta give Chelan another shot. Was a cool lake but the towns all seemed dead for the season
I might come to Chelan!
